After alot of research and reading i setteled on a danger den maze4 custom WC setup, the details are as follows:

sorry for the big pic, too lazy to type everything out :D

im still unsure about the radiator and the coolant, so any general comments would be a great help, thanks!
 
just get the one with the double fans, and you'll be fine. :)
Maybe in the future you could even add a GPU-block.

Grtz
 
you know you are wasting money on a chipset block? it will peform same or worst as the fan cooler.

Better, get the gpu block and cpu block.

Not nessessarily. Water on the chipset is still a great way to remove heat from the case.
 
You may want to look into buying Panaflo or Delta fans from another retailer/site. Panaflo last a lot longer than Sunon, and have a good cfm:dBA ratio. See here: http://www.jab-tech.com/customer/product.php?productid=2686&cat=81&page=1
It would be about $8 more, but well worth it.

The reservoir I was looking at was only $18. A small difference, but they are quite similar and both from Danger Den's site. See here: http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=51&cat=27&page=1
And you make up for the difference in fan price.

Water on chipset may be a great way to cool it, but does it justify the price? I think $40 for chipset cooling is overkill and it will just heat up your water more than you need.

You don't need Tygon cooling unless you are gonna drink the water after you use it or something. This is also from Danger Den: http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=61&cat=33&page=1
ClearFlex 60 is much cheaper, you can get ten feet (there is a price per foot drop at ten feet) for $11.20 That's 3 more feet for 1/2 the price. 7 feet is $8.75

I think you are going a little overkill with that radiator. It's pretty expensive. If you like Danger Den there is "The Heater Core" 2 120mm fan edition for $34.99 with a $15.95 shroud. Thats about half what you are paying for the Black Ice. Or you could get a 77 Bonneville from www.freshcooling.com / www.liquidstop.tk . They are very good. I don't know if the Danger Den version is a Bonneville since it doesn't say anything specific, but it's cheap.

The pump isn't bad, but you could save about $20 by going with an AC pump, such as the Hydor L35 that will have very similar output. See here: http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=40&cat=25&page=1


It's all your call though, and if you've got the money go for it I guess.
